Wanderers v Cottagers

[TANGODANCER]

Petrov - difficult one - although he was decent yesterday- i'm feckin sick of him hanging a leg out like a pansy

Petrov's an attacking greyhound not a defender. He shouldn't have to spend his time tracking back but be available to get forward fast, something he's very good at. Alonso was so obviously the weak link yesterday that he should have gone off at half-time. If he develops, then fine, but right now isn't the time for that. Ricketts at left back would allow Petrov more impact because, in fairness Petrov's one of our better players right now. Duff wouldn't have got half the same joy from Ricketts as he did from Alosno.

Davies AND N'gog up front.

Go on, explain that to me.

Davies looked like he was at least up for the scrap when he came on.
NGog has got quality - just needs a bit of help

Petrov - difficult one - although he was decent yesterday- i'm feckin sick of him hanging a leg out like a pansy

Having Davies & N'gog on the same pitch is like selecting Bogdan AND Jussi. Utterly pointless.

Petrov gets so much fckg unreasonable stick. He was superb yesterday, & if his weakeness is that he's not really a defender (despite trying his damndest thesse days, now he's not required to cover for Robbo's poor form) then "shame on him".

We have far more to worry about that Petrov's defensive limitations.

[lovethesmellofnapalm]

there's a difference between having "defensive limitations" and being a coward
Petrov unfortunately has/is both.
nobody asks him to make 10-15 tackles a game
man up and take a man on and try to ride a few tackles instead of just getting rid isnt too much to ask though

[BWFC_Insane]

As it stands Petrov is the only player in the team capable of creating a chance in open play....

That really is quite shite....

[thebish]

well.....

could have been massively worse..

now ManU are 2-0 up which means all of our bottom 5 rivals have lost too...

it could have been better - yes (before someone points it out!!) - but it could have been a barrow of shit worse!!!

Well yes though given the other fixtures, it's a better weekend for the teams below us than it has been for us.....

They all got zero points. How is that any better than how we did?

i agree Petrov was our best player yesterday.
but whacking it into the box at the first available opportunity to one striker doth not constitute creating a chance - more just another form of hit and hope .
compare to their second yesterday when Duff held it up and waited for runners before delivering. mind you he was against Alonso

It's a very very simple point to understand.

Wigan were away at Chelsea, QPR away at Man Utd after those fixtures neither have lost any ground to the teams above them. Both would have bitten your hand off if offered that on Friday.

We have our difficult fixture away from home up next and haven't managed to create any sort of a cushion ahead of that. QPR and Wigan will both be happy with that given they wouldn't have expected anything out of their games, but were probably expecting us to get something against Fulham!

yet not quite as simple as this...

it COULD have been a whole barrow-load of shit worse, and it wasn't. FFS!!

(and - I suspect wiggin are fecking spitting feathers they didn't get a point - never mind "biting our hands off" for the status quo!!!)

None of the other teams picked up any points and are one game closer to finishing the end of the season in the relegation zone, so it's a good weekend for them?

Utterly bizarre.

A succession of "better weekends" from now till the end of the season and we'll still stay up.

What feck* me off the most is the fact that players (im looking at you mark davies) we need to be driving the game, grabbing it by the scruff of the neck, were visibly shying away from the ball. The team we have now, probably our best available xi with steinson back in, just does not have the bottle in my view.

I can take lack of ability, but there are footballers picking up a salary at our place who dont have the stomach for the fight. The utter spinelessness of yesterday is what hurts the most.

I would be picking the lies if Josh Vela over some of the fannys thst turned out yesterday, for the newcastle game. Send a message out. This is a battle...committed players only.

Is it bottle or ability we are missing?

Not sure myself....

Thank you for talking sense after some of the utter crap I've read on this page in this thread.

[Jokers in White]

The worse performance of the season considering the opposition yesterday, Alonso was shocking again but was at Wolves last weekend too so why the fcuk he started again god knows. Only Petrov worked hard yesterday the rest were toss, i'm a big Mark Davies fan but yesterday i thought a UFO beamed him up he was non exsitent. Everybody is getting carried away with KD cameo's against Spurs and Wolves thinking he's back to his best FFS he scored against the worst defence in memory of man last weekend, he's still the same KD that has been shit for 12months, he tryed his best when he came on yesterday but was never going to getting anything from Hangeland who didn't brake into a sweat yesterday, the best bet would of been Sordell we lacked pace and he would of provided that and maybe a goal who knows another pointless signing. I'm beginning to think Ngog is a glorified donkey. 0-3 was a fair scoreline because truth be told it should of been 5 or 6.

Gartside just tweeted:

"Game to far yesterday. Would have settled for 9 out of 12 points 4 weeks ago. Just got greedy. Need all the support we can get until Stoke"

"Year and a half this one. Made enforced changes due to injuries etc. Just need to see this one to the end. Regroup in the summer, fitter, stronger"

It's both as far as I'm concerned.

Fair doos, he's been drinking since 9am this morning. And that's still no excuse for misspelling the word too.
